Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two equations are parallel lines (same x and y coefficients but different constants), meaning they never intersect. This indicates the system is inconsistent with no solution.

Solve the System {x+y=1x+y=−3\left\{ \begin{array} { l } x + y = 1 \\x + y = - 3\end{array} \right.{x+y=1x+y=−3​

Solve the System $\left\{ \begin{array} { l } x + y = 1 \\x + y = - 3\end{array} \right.$
